Spring Chores

We have passed the mid point of March which means spring will soon be here. In southern Ohio, this season used to stretch on for a couple of months. Now it’s more like three weeks of moderate temperatures before giving way to humidity and heat.

It occurred to me this weekend that I have a boatload of outdoor work I want to get done before summer moves in. Incidentally, it is mostly the same stuff I wanted done last year.

There’s a big patch of poison ivy and weeds surrounding a tree stump in my front yard that desperately needs addressed. The house needs power washed. There’s a shed needing cleaned out. The back porch needs a good scrub. There’s a lot of flower bed work too.

This would be a great time to take care of that shed and the junk piled up around it but I’m lacking the motivation and time to get outside and tackle it.

This doesn’t bode well for the rest of that list.

Meanwhile, we received snow last night. It was eighty degree just a few days ago. Maybe next weekend.

What’s on your spring list? It would be good to get our chores done now so we are free to adventure later.

  1. I am coming to the conclusion that I like winter more than I used to. If for no other reason than that I am not nagged by outdoor chores that need to be done.

  2. Since we didn’t have winter this year, the weeds already have a strong head start on me. I’ve started tackling that, plus the usual spring yard cleanup. I’ll soon be putting in a new raised bed and getting the ones I put in last year planted.
